Learning and Growing

The PGA WORKS Fellowship provides the opportunity for a one-year, paid immersion in a PGA Section’s foundation operations. This entry-level employment experience offers a taste of what a career in the golf industry can provide. The program offers access to individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds—whether by gender, age, race or color, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, disability, religion or Veteran status—into the golf industry to gain experience in all facets of the golf industry. PGA REACH Philadelphia hired two women in 2022, Erin Martin and Rachel Goetz, to work 15-month PGA WORKS Fellowships. Martin, a Widener University graduate, has since completed her fellowship and has joined our staff as a full-time foundation coordinator. Goetz, a Penn State University graduate, came to PGA REACH Philadelphia from Aronimink Golf Club, where she was the club's banquet and events manager.
